According to Gu Zhengyi's recollection, the Shen family treated Shen Xiaobai well when he was a child, and the relationship between Shen's parents was also good at that time.

But not long after Shen Xiaoting was born, the relationship between Shen's parents gradually deteriorated, and there were constant quarrels.As soon as Shen's mother got angry, she took Shen Xiaoting out.And Shen's father would either get drunk at home, or go out to relax, or bring some buddies who didn't know where they came home to drink too much together.

The neighbors would occasionally gossip behind their backs about whether Father Shen had someone outside, but Gu Zhengyi thought, apart from bringing some drinking buddies home, he didn't seem to be hanging out with any women.

In this way, Shen Xiaobai is often left alone at home; sometimes it is as if no one is at home when someone is at home.

When Gu Zhengyi saw that he often wandered alone at the door, he would take the initiative to ask him to come to his house to play.

When Shen Xiaobai was in elementary school, the two of them would go to Gu Zhengyi's house to stay when they came back from school together.They always do their homework on the small square table sitting in the living room.After finishing his homework, Gu Zhengyi will take him to the community to play table tennis with his friends.

Shen Xiaobai didn't know how to play, and was so small that he couldn't even reach the table. He just watched under the shade of a tree, cheering and cheering for Gu Zhengyi when he scored.

"Oh, Xiaobai, you are too noisy!" He rubbed Shen Xiaobai's hair. "How about I teach you how to fight?"

"But, I don't know how to do it!" Shen Xiaobai tried to hold the racket, looking at the almost round rubber board, worrying. "The ball is so small, how could it possibly catch it?"

Gu Zhengyi taught him hand in hand, but he still flew the ball as soon as he tossed it.

"He kept telling me that he couldn't learn it. But, it's strange to say that one summer vacation, he suddenly knew how to play. He said that he attended a summer camp and learned from the friends who trained together. The teacher's requirements are very strict, no I can’t play.” Gu Zhengyi thought about it carefully, and still felt very incredible: “It’s like he suddenly got enlightened. No, it’s like cheating. I think he has changed a lot. After he learned how to play, his understanding of this matter Hobbies have also become fanatical. I think maybe he finds fun and confidence in it?"

When Xu Hao listened to Gu Zhengyi talking about this passage, he silently lowered his head and flipped through the fried rice on the plate with a blank expression.He held the steel spoon in the cafeteria, gently exerting force with his fingertips.

Xu Mo glanced at Xu Hao, and asked Gu Zhengyi: "Then, has Xiaobai been playing table tennis very well since then? Is there any special situation where he doesn't want to play like this?"

Xu Mo tried to bring the topic back to the time when Xiaobai was violated.He didn't want to ask this kind of thing directly, but he really wanted to get a glimpse of the truth behind it from other people's words.In the final analysis, Gu Zhengyi is a neighbor, and if the relationship is closer, he can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart.But that's all.Gu Zhengyi, who was also just a child at the time, had already given him the care and company he could give as a partner, what else could he do?

"For a while, his health was not very good. It is said that he had gastroenteritis and rested at home for several days. When we met again, his mood became very bad. I asked him what was wrong, whether his health was important, and he played it lightly I said it was fine, it was just a stomachache. But after that... his body had problems every now and then, and he often had a low-grade fever. At that time, I was preparing to go abroad, and after school I had to go to extracurricular tutoring classes, ping-pong I hardly hit the ball anymore, and I have a lot less interaction with Xiaobai." When Gu Zhengyi talked about this part, he would blush unconsciously.He put his hands on his knees, looked at the time on his watch, and said to Xu Mo: "That's all I know about Xiaobai. It's getting late, I have to go back to work, sorry, I can't accompany you."

"Oh, good! Excuse me. Thank you for taking the time to chat with us." At this point, Xu Mo and Xu Hao stood up to pay their respects, and sent Gu Zhengyi away.

Before Gu Zhengyi left the restaurant, his gaze stayed on the fried rice in front of Xu Hao for a moment, and he raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Xiaobai didn't like onions either."

Xu Hao was stunned.

He stared in astonishment at the onion grains that had been picked out and piled aside on his plate, and looked at Gu Zhengyi in surprise.

Gu Zhengyi didn't say anything, turned and left.

Xu Hao stared at his back in a daze for a long time, and didn't come back to his senses until Xu Mo called him.

"Why are you in a daze? Are you staring blankly?" Xu Mo patted him on the shoulder.

Xu Hao shook his head: "It's okay."

"Then do you think what Gu Zhengyi... said is true?" Xu Mo sat back in his seat, waiting for Xu Hao's answer.

But Xu Hao overturned the previous deduction and said ambiguously, "I can't say it well either."

Xu Mo glanced at him sideways, thinking that you were not telling the truth, you were all hiding it.

Everyone lost their appetite in the face of leftovers. Xu Mo stood up and prepared to pay the bill, but found that He Yuewei was staring at Xu Hao not far away. Seeing Xu Mo get up, she also moved towards Xu Hao. Xu Mo was no longer approaching him.

It's really a narrow road.He cursed secretly in his heart, trotted back to Xu Hao's side and greeted her with a smile: "Hi~Miss He, what a coincidence!"

He Yuewei saw Xu Mo's face turned cold, and said "Hi" coldly, then turned to Xu Hao and said earnestly: "Xiaobai! It's really you! Last time I heard that you went back to school, I was not there that day, and now I want to I regret it even if I think about it, why is it so unfortunate?"

Xu Hao was helpless, but he still smiled and explained patiently: "This...classmate. I am not Shen Xiaobai. I think you must have made a mistake."

"This classmate?" He Yuewei was so shocked that her eyes were red with grief, she was always proud and even looked a little humble in front of Xu Hao. "Xiaobai, you, you are still angry with me, aren't you?"

Xu Hao quickly stood up and coaxed her: "No, no, no, I'm not angry with you. I'm really not Xiaobai, I just look like him!" While coaxing He Yuewei, he raised his eyebrows at Xu Mo , to signal with the eyes.Seeing that Xu Mo didn't respond, he pouted at Xu Mo again.Obviously it was urging: you explain to her quickly!How to dawdle.

Over there, He Yuewei was about to stick to Xu Hao's body.Xu Mo secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that this kind of cute and pitiful appearance really made people angry.

"This is my cousin Xu Hao." Xu Mo said. "He also came to look for Xiaobai."

"How is it possible?" He Yuewei sized Xu Hao from side to side, and circled around him. "Obviously he looks exactly like Xiaobai! Young Master Xu, you have used all kinds of means to get Xiaobai. You can even make up a plot like 'he is my brother'!"

Xu Mo was very speechless, and he said in a rare irritable way: "Miss, if he is my younger brother, it is even more impossible for us, okay?! Xiaobai is Xiaobai, Xiaohao is Xiaohao. You claim to love Xiaohao very much." Bai, does it mean that as long as the appearance is the same, you can't tell which one is the one you love?"
